Functional Fitness Over 40 review

A $17.99 ebook on strength, balance and mobility after 40, credited to a doctor with a PhD in Workout Psychology.

Pass

Strength and balance training after 40 is well supported and the contents cover the right areas. For this age group, safe progression and existing conditions matter, and a text file with no demonstrations and no named trainer is a weak guide. The co-author is one of five doctors of the invented Workout Psychology and one of four co-authors surnamed Donald in this batch. Anyone with joint or heart problems should check with a doctor first.

Strength, balance, mobility

The listing covers the main pillars of functional training.

It is aimed at home use.

Age-appropriate caution

Existing conditions and form matter more after 40.

The listing names no trainer and shows no demonstrations.

The co-author's degree does not exist

The listing credits Dr. Nancy Donald with a PhD in Workout Psychology and 34 years of experience. No university awards a doctorate in that, and it is the pattern across the more than 120 titles from this seller in our catalogue: each book gets its own doctor with a PhD in exactly that book's subject.

Three of those names appear twice with different doctorates and different decades of experience, so the credentials are generated rather than held.

The rest of the numbers are decoration

Claims 356000+ readers, although the seller has no website, no catalogue page and no way to check. The $47 regular price sits next to $17.99 on every title in the catalogue and is never charged.

The reviews carry first names and US or European cities, which cannot be verified either.

The bottom line

Strength and balance training after 40 is well supported and the contents cover the right areas. For this age group, safe progression and existing conditions matter, and a text file with no demonstrations and no named trainer is a weak guide. The co-author is one of five doctors of the invented Workout Psychology and one of four co-authors surnamed Donald in this batch.
